Equipment
- Silicone Molds
Ingredients
Chocolate Layers
- 6 TB coconut oil melted
- 1 & ½ TB cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon powdered monk fruit sweetener
Peanut Butter Layer
- ½ C coconut oil melted
- ½ C natural creamy peanut butter
- 4 TB PBFit powdered peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon powdered monk fruit sweetener
- pinch sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- For the chocolate layer: In a bowl combine the melted coconut oil with the cocoa and powdered monk fruit sweetener. Stir or whisk to combine so that it is smooth.
- To make the homemade peanut butter filling: In a bowl, combine the melted coconut oil with the peanut butter, PBFit, powdered monk fruit sweetener, sea salt, and optional vanilla extract. Stir or whisk to combine so that it is smooth.
- Place a silicone mold tray with 15 small openings onto a stable solid surface like a cutting board that is the same dimensions. This is important so that transferring the filled tray to the freezer is easy. The tray is "floppy" and hard to move once filled with the liquids.
- To each opening, you will put in the bottom 1 teaspoon of the chocolate. Then place in the freezer to set for 15-20 minutes.
- After the chocolate is frozen and looks like the photo below, you can begin adding the second layer. To each chocolate layer, now spoon in 2 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture. Then place in the freezer to set for 15-20 minutes.
- To each peanut butter layer, you add more chocolate. This time you will add about ½ teaspoon of the chocolate on top of the frozen peanut butter. Then place the peanut butter cups in the freezer to set for a minimum of a final 30 minutes.
- After the last 30 minutes of freezing, the best peanut butter cups should be ready to eat and enjoy. Simply pop them out of the silicone molds and enjoy.
- Any that you are not eating right away can be easily stored in a freezer-safe container that is air-tight for up to a month.
